抄録

Keijo Imperial University (hereinafter KIU) was established in colonial Korea as the sixth imperial university under the Imperial University Proclamation. This article is an attempt to focus anew on the operation of the University's Faculty of Law and Literature from the viewpoint of 1) its founding academic principles, which paid special attention to Oriental culture and Korean studies, and 2) its relationship to surveys conducted by the Japanese Governor-General of Korea, concluding that KIU was a national policy institution concerned with Korean administrative affairs. Focusing particularly on the Law Department, which has been overlooked in the research to date, the author sets out to reconsider the personality and significance of the Faculty at KIU via its curriculum and activities of those who gathered to learn at the institution. Although the majority of the students were enrolled in the Law Department, the setting up of such a department was never considered during the planning leading up of the establishment of the University. This is because there was a strong consciousness among Korean administrators that the study of law should be avoided as an environment requiring the consideration of conceptual problems. In general, the law faculty members are characterized as younger in age and having no academic experience before their appointments at KIU. Instead, they had previously served as lawyers and judges and were active as teachers in preparing aspirants to Imperial Japan's higher civil service examinations, which was not a part of the University's planned curriculum. However, shortly after its opening, students began to ask their teachers to tutor them personally for the examination ; and later, this tutoring came to be reflected in the overall curriculum of the Law Department. It is a fact that KIU produced a larger number of students taking the higher civil service bar examination than the imperial universities in Japan, and with a higher success rate. The success of Korean students was due to their traditional legal consciousness and the common belief that becoming a civil servant meant personal success. The author concludes that this point is essential when considering the real function and role of KIU in Korean colonial society ; that is, the University produced a framework for Koreans to attain upward social mobility under a colonial situation.
